Chapter 230: One Man's Thousands of Troops

A drum and horn sounded, this is the order of the officers and soldiers of the Xun Yi Mansion to assemble, and the battle array drill will be carried out in a unified manner.

In ancient warfare, the most important thing was the "battle array".

In this era when communications are underdeveloped and command on the battlefield is quite difficult, if there is no strict training in battle formations in ordinary times, it will be a blind rush to the battlefield, and it will be a "rabble" with no combat effectiveness.

The battle formation tactics of the Tang army are quite rich and changeable, and all kinds of troops perform their own duties, and they are in a position to open up the formation on the battlefield, which is as fixed and flexible as the formation of modern football. Among the major arms, the infantry is the main combat force of the Tang Army, and the different arms such as Mo knife, regimental card, martial card, and crossbow soldier have launched a battle on the battlefield, like a bulldozer rolling down.

In addition to serving as the main force of surprise soldiers when launching long-distance attacks and surprise attacks, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was actually used for "two wings sweeping formation" in large-scale battles. The elite of the cavalry rode like a "winger" on a modern football field, an absolute sharp knife that tore through the enemy's defenses.

Xue Shao's third brigade is under the command of the Yue Cavalry Regiment.

The order sounded, and the whole army moved together. Normally, each regiment and unit conducts training in individual military techniques, and the battle array drill is like a modern military exercise, and it is a great opportunity to show off one's demeanor and strength to fraternal units. At the same time, all the strong and brave Xunfu guards couldn't stand the collective they belonged to, and they fell out of the chain in the large-scale battle array drill.

For example, there is absolutely zero tolerance for things like being late for assembly and loose queues!

Listening to the sound of the rousing drums, Xue Shao looked at the empty barracks and frowned.

There was a large box next to Sandao's sleeping bunk, and everyone in the brigade knew that there was a brand-new Qilin military flag of the Xunyi Mansion Yue Cavalry Regiment in it. In addition, Sandao is preparing to fight it one day when Mobei goes into battle to kill the enemy, and cheers for the soldiers of the whole brigade.

"As long as there's one person left, you have to!"

"Today, I am the 3rd Brigade!"

Xue Shao opened the box, which contained two spare pairs of mountain iron armor in addition to the flag. Xue Shao used a wooden pole to prop up the flag, put on a military uniform and mountain armor, carried a horse lance and rode on the horse, and found that he could not spare his hands to hold the flag. So he found another rope and tied the flag to himself.

Then, riding a horse and raising a lance, he rushed to the large school field.

The soldiers of the Xunfu are all veterans of war, all of them are well-trained and act quickly. When Xue Shao arrived at the school grounds, the army formation of 5,000 people had already been arranged.

Everyone looked at Xue Shao, an alternative who was late and had a flag tied to him.

The flag envoy who was in charge of guiding the training of the battle formation immediately came forward and shouted: "What regiment are you from, and why are you dressed like this?" ”

Xue Shao replied, "The Third Brigade of the Vietnamese Cavalry Regiment." My first time participating in battle formation training, where is the squad formation of our 3rd Brigade? ”

The flag commander was stunned for a moment, but immediately stood up in awe and shook his fist solemnly at Xue Shao, "Brother, the squad of the Third Brigade is here, please follow me!" ”

"Thank you!"

Xue Shao smiled and nodded, it seems that the soldiers of Xun Yifu have already known about the death of almost all of our Third Brigade.

Xue Shao followed the flag envoy into the large school field, and stood in an open space on top of the attention of thousands of people.

If a large open space is the size of two basketball courts, there is Xue Shao standing alone.

The regiments began to point out. Every time a brigade is called, the soldiers of the whole brigade must shout loudly.

The lieutenant of the Yue Cavalry Regiment walked up to Xue Shao and glanced at the empty clearing behind him.

The colonel's field became quiet, and thousands of people looked at Xue Shao's side.

The deputy lieutenant's expression became very solemn, and it could even be said that he was "solemn", and said loudly, "Yue Cavalry Regiment, the Third Brigade!" ”

Xue Shao shouted with all his strength: "The Third Brigade of the Yue Cavalry Regiment, all the guards - here!" ”

In the school field for several miles, although Xue Shao roared hysterically, even his voice was almost hoarse. However, this voice was still very insignificant compared to the previous roar of the soldiers of the whole brigade in unison.

However, the three armies were in an uproar!

All the guards raised their weapons together and shouted, "Here!" ”

The hiss of five thousand hot-blooded men roared, swallowing mountains and rivers in anger!

Li Duozuo and the generals of the first mansion of the Zuo Lang and the right Lang generals, as well as the captains of each regiment, stood on the cloud platform and saw this eye-catching vacancy in the military formation at a glance. I also saw Xue Shao, who was abruptly standing alone in the clearing.

Li Duozuo's face tightened, "One person's thousands of troops!" ”

"Strong, Third Brigade!" The left and right Lang will fist and praise with the captains.

"General Li, the Third Brigade has always been the heroic brigade of our Xun Yifu, and Guo Sandao is the best brigade commander. The soldiers under his command are all heroes! Such a brigade should not disappear! Lieutenant Liu of the Vietnamese Cavalry Regiment said, "I suggest that the kid temporarily take the position of brigade commander and re-select the elite cavalry to form the third brigade." ”

Li Duozuo smiled bitterly on the spot.

The kid?

Temporary Acting Brigade Marshal?

Well, there are only me, Li Duozuo and Guo Yuanzhen, who know his true identity......

"That's right, General Lee!" The other generals and lieutenants also said, "We have all heard about the Third Brigade, this kid is good!" Not only has he made great contributions, but also made countless people grateful to our Datang guards, which is a model for our Datang army! Such talents must be promoted and reused! ”

Li Duozuo coughed lightly and wanted to scratch his head, you let me promote him? …… Shut up, that's not how jokes are made!

"Captain Liu, why don't you give that kid to me!" Another lieutenant half-jokingly said seriously, "I'll make him the deputy captain of my martial arts regiment!" ”

"Get out, Lao Tzu's favorite talent, no one wants to dig into the corner!" Captain Liu was still anxious. Fighting a man is upright, and he scolded in public.

The scolded didn't care that the others were also laughing, and they all persuaded Li Duozuo together, so he promoted that kid to be the commander of the Third Brigade. Just listen to what he did, a brigade commander is a condescending talent!

It was difficult to disobey the will of the people, Li Duozuo was really difficult to ride a tiger now, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Call him!" ”

The flag commander immediately rode over and called Xue Shao to the front of the Yuntai point.

"Heh, this kid is awe-inspiring and talented, and he's still a beautiful man!" Captain Liu and some other generals blurted out praise when they saw Xue Shao.

"There is a little bit of the style of the legendary Lanling King!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"God-like, god-like!"

"Alright, you can stop in moderation!" Li Duozuo's face cramped, and he said in his heart that another day, if you know the true identity of "this kid", see if you don't suck your cheap mouth!

Xue Shao dismounted, gave the horse lance to the guards in front of the general, and walked in front of Li Duozuo and others with the army in hand.

Li Duozuo said: "Chengyu, Captain Liu of your Yue Cavalry Regiment wants to promote you to be the brigade commander of the Third Brigade. What is your opinion? ”

Xue Shao was slightly surprised, but replied decisively: "I obey!" ”

"Okay." Li Duozuo didn't say a word, and said directly, "From now on, you are the brigade commander of the Third Brigade of the Yue Cavalry Regiment of Xunyi Prefecture." Among the 60,000 troops of the Xunyi Mansion and the Parent Mansion, you can arbitrarily select the guards of the Three Guards and the Five Mansions who are skilled in archers and horses to act as your subordinates. The premise is that their rulers are willing to let them go. ”

As soon as Li Duozuo was released, a sturdy man in his forties next to him immediately shouted: "Chengyu, you are welcome to our martial arts cavalry regiment to pick up troops!" I will do my best to cooperate and give you the best soldiers! If you need to be in the right team, I also have ready-made manpower here, don't be polite to me! ”

The other generals and lieutenants all made fun of him, "You think beautifully!" ”

The Yue cavalry is the elite of the cavalry, and the Wu cavalry is the general cavalry. All martial arts want to become "Yue Qi", just like basketball players from all over the world want to play in the NBA.

"Thank you, Chief, for your kindness." Xue Shao smiled kindly and hugged his fist at the captain of the Martial Cavalry Regiment, and then said to Li Duozuo: "General Li, I want to pick people from among the recruits. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

The soldiers were straightforward, and someone immediately said: "Recruits, they are not even qualified Tang Dynasty guards, and they will directly become the top elite in the Tang Dynasty army, isn't this a fool's dream?" ”

Li Duozuo raised his hand to signal them not to quarrel, and asked Xue Shaodao: "What is the reason for you to do this?" ”

Xue Shao replied: "I want to pass on the spirit of the Third Brigade directly to the latest juniors to join the Tang Army!" I am sure that before the outbreak of war, these recruits will be trained to be truly qualified, Viet Cavalry Guards! ”

Everyone was taken aback again, "This kid is crazy enough!" ”

"I don't know about other places, but the Yue Cavalry Regiment of the Right Guard Mansion has never accepted veterans less than three years old!"

"Who can enter the Yue Cavalry Regiment who is not the rest of a hundred battles?"

"No, no, you better come to our martial cavalry regiment to pick up troops!"

all talked nonsense and persuaded Xue Shao not to do this.

Only Li Duozuo did not say anything. First, he "didn't dare" to oppose Xue Shao, and secondly, he thought that Xue Shao dared to do this, there must be a reason for him!

"I agree!" Li Duozuo suddenly shouted, overwhelming the crowd.

The others all shut up.

The order is like a mountain!

"Thank you, General Lee!" Xue Shao hugged his fist, "Then I'll go pick up troops now!" ”

"Yes, it seems that you can't participate in battle formation training alone." Li Duozuo looked at Xue Shao and smiled bitterly, and said, "Just now you said that you can train them to become qualified Yue Cavalry before the war breaks out." I have to remind you that you have three months left at most, which is the latest deadline given by Marshal Pei for the assembly of all the Northern Expeditionary armies! ”

"Okay, I've got it!" Xue Shao hugged his fist.

"Go ahead!" Li Duozuo waved his hand, "Since you boasted of Haikou, go and show your magic by yourself." I see what kind of recruits you have dug up from other provinces and regiments! ”

Xue Shao smiled meaningfully and said, "Soldiers and seedlings are easy to find, and those recruits dream of becoming soldiers in the Three Guards and Five Mansions." However, I would like to ask General Li to help me get two teams to come and be my deputy. ”

General Lang and the lieutenants all laughed, "The corners of the wall have been dug up to General Li's head!" ”

Li Duozuo smiled helplessly and nodded, "You say, who do you want?" ”

Xue Shao said: "Two recruits like me, Junior Colonel of the Seventh Rank Middle School, Guo Yuanzhen of Xunyi Mansion and Xue Chuyu of the Parent Mansion!" ”

Everyone on the gimbal was in an uproar again.

"The recruits became brigade commanders, and then selected recruits to enter the Vietnamese cavalry, these are not enough, you have to choose two recruits to be deputies!"

"Do you really take war as a child's play?"

"When the time comes, it's going to be a battle, but it's going to die!"

Facing the doubts of these people, Xue Shao said calmly: "I just escaped death and buried my brothers myself. I'm not going to joke with anyone's life, especially my robes! ”

The audience fell silent.

Li Duozuo nodded heavily, "As you wish!" - Just three months, you can do it yourself! ”
